As colocações de motion no inglês jurídico - Parte 1

 

Motion na linguagem jurídica em inglês corresponde a um pedido feito pela parte de um processo (party to a lawsuit) no decorrer do processo ou das investigações.

Não deve ser confundido com o pedido objeto da ação (prayer for relief, demand for relief ou simplesmente prayer), que aparece ao final da inicial (pleading).

Os motions podem ser feitos oralmente (oral application) ou por escrito (written application) solicitando que o juízo profira uma determinada decisão (court ruling) ou ordem judicial (court order).
